Capecitabine, an oral 5-fluorouracil prodrug, is currently used in the treatment of metastatic colorectal carcinoma and breast cancer. Fingerprints, also referred to as dermatoglyphics and characterized by the pattern of ridges and furrows on the fingertips, are used for identification by government agencies and personal electronic devices. Two women with breast cancer who were treated with cap...

BACKGROUND There are controversial evidences on the association between fingerprint traits and schizophrenia. We compared fingerprint traits of patients with schizophrenia and normal individuals in Iranian population. METHODS Finger tip dermal ridge of 290 patients with schizophrenia and 290 normal subjects were studied for four dermal traits. Data was analyzed with Pearson correlation and st...

Dermatoglyphics is influenced by heredity and abnormality in it are associated with chromosomal anamolies. Primary hypertension is polygenic and the scientific dermatoglyphic pattern analysis are rare, which could be used as a diagnostic and screening aid.The present was done to study the frequency distribution of scientific ridge pattern in primary hypertensives.The study was carried out in 20...

METHOD(S): The study was done on 100 amenorrheic patients and 100 eumenorrheic controls with normal karyotype. Their finger tip patterns, hypothenar patterns, simian crease, Sydney line, interdigital area patterns (qualitative parameters of DGs) were analyzed. Printing method was used. The observations were correlated not only between subjects and controls but also between subjects with normal ...

background: dermatoglyphics are the dermal ridge configurations on the digits, palms and soles. dermatoglyphic polymorphism results from the co-operation of genetic and environmental factors. the dermatoglyphic analysis is a valuable completion of initial diagnosis of some syndromes genetically determined. our objective was to assess dermatoglyphics study results against standard chromosomal an...

Finger tip patterns of sixty patients of Bronchial Asthma were compared with that of 50 control cases. Higher frequency of whorls was observed in first digit of both generations of bronchial asthma patients in comparison to controls. In all digits the frequency of arches was reduced in both generations of bronchial asthma patients as compared to controls. These findings proved highly significan...

Dermatoglyphics is an integral part of the biological anthropology related to studies population polymorphism and geographical variability Homo sapiens. V.V. Bunak presented dermatoglyphic methods in chapter XI "Anthropometry" too compact, text needs some technical explanations, which was purpose this work. Materials methods. We have combined comments with a summary main concepts terms accepted...
